Pros

This is about lab supervisor exp: A very interesting role; Hard workers and almost all positive coworkers; Pretty flexible with PTO; Always looking to improve.

Cons

Messy, people not cleaning up their parts, cleanroom wipes, etc., not too bad but should be better.

Occasionally I have to do other people's jobs if I want them done in the expected timeline because the person is so busy.

Mgmt is working mgmt meaning they are very technical, brilliant memories, and super engaged with the work, but less strong on the mgmt side, not always a bad thing but I stick it here because if I want mgmt "stuff" done I need to put in a bigger piece of the effort than I believe is appropriate.

Advice to Management

Improve communications throughout. Explain what is happening more often, and clarify expectations to the organization, such as RMBWs, cleanliness, and documentation practices.
